MockingJay Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Perhaps the facebook-complaining person will think about this twoce when he/she is lying on the street after an accident, bleeding and with broken bones... Then he/she would like very much that a volunteer would stop by and provide first aid. Better twitter and tube all those i-phone and macbook shopping monks!

Pattaya28 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Facebook complainer was correct to report the suspicion of a scam. The 200 Baht Fine could have been waived though. The fundraising was for a very good cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
